The main contractor is the supervisory contractor of all construction work on a project, management of sub-contractors and vendors, etc. May be referred to as "Construction Manager," however, for consistency CTBUH uses the term "Main Contractor" exclusively.
The project is the first residential high-rise constructed in downtown New Orleans since Hurricane Katrina struck the city in August 2005. It was designed to re-imagine the typically horizontal condition of New Orleans’ dense French Quarter blocks as a vertical condition. The program is organized to create a communal amenity floor at the 9th level, reinterpreting the courtyard housing typology for urban, high-rise living. At this raised “courtyard” level, shuttle elevators transfer from the garage floors below to the 250 residences above, in order to instigate opportunities for residents to cross paths with one another in a shared, communal space.
The exterior envelope incorporates a highly articulated metal panel and glass patterned façade. This provides dwelling units with strategically located floor-to-ceiling columns of view. A minimal amount of glass is provided within garage floors, but maintains a seamless, while animated, composition with the residences above. Garage levels also incorporate a significant percentage of perforated panels thereby eliminating the need for mechanical ventilation.
